1. Why do they need to?
They can cover whatever they want, there not force to cover impeachment news 24/7.

9. True- if DEMS are too frightened to mention the word, why should the GOP owned media do it for them?

I'll never understand why so many DUers expect the GOP owned media to act upon things we elected Democrats to talk about and act on.

12. I don't think DU or expects anything of the MSM except mainstream corporate reporting
The was not the point. I was just highlighting what I noticed from my search.

13. I'm not challenging your OP- I agree with you.
But whenever we are going to ask why the media is not talking about this or that, Dr fate will be there to ask why the DEMS we elected are not talking about it either.

You are not one of these people- but many DUers will scream and holler about the media not talking about this or that, but when I ask why DEMS are not talking about the same this or that, they come up with all kinds of creative yet laughable excuses.

The media will NOT do our job for us.

15. Not all the media is owned by the GOP
My newspaper I read here in Pittsburgh, PA (Pittsburgh post gazette) is very critical of Republicans.

And I couldn't have it any other way.

16. All television & cable media is- and most radio and Newspapers as well.
For years now people have tried to convince me that all these Jack Welch type CEOs are Liberal, sandle-wearing hippies- it is to laugh.

Sure- we a have a few voices here and there.

2. I just did the same but I think you made a mistake
You have to click the similar articles link.

I found 60 different outlets carried the Rocky call for impeachment including the biggies like NYT & ABC.

3. No mistake. That article is not about Impeachment, it's about a "debate on Impeachment."
Although they are similar I wouldn't call them the same thing.

4. Then change your headline
Because saying MSM refuses to mention impeachment is wrong

Saying MSM refuses to CALL for impeachment would be dead on though.

6. But that simply isn't true.
"MSM's lack of coverage on the issue in any way"

You can argue it hasn't been discussed enough or that there haven't been enough calls for impeachment debates or what have you.

Tell your candidate to stop talking about introducing articles and to just go ahead and do it. If he's waiting for the MSM to LEAD he will be disappointed.

8. If you think that I'm going to change the headline just because the
NYT and a few other papers mention the O'Reilly interview I'm not going to. I suggest you alert the thread and let the mods decide.

11. You can do as you wish.
We disagree.

We've both made our points.

I don't think the mods need involvement.
